How To Work
With A Timid Horse

Often, I get questions from  people about training timid horses.  Horse owners should learn to train timid horses.  Thus, we'll talk about horse trainer timidity training because that's big in horse training.

Lots of horse owners complain they have trouble training them because the horse seems ready to jump out of his skin.

Therefore, the horse will lack the ability to do what is asked of him.

So I would say this to the owner of a timid horse.

The timid horse needs to be reassured by continual caressing. With that kind of disposition he immediately
feels your superiority and immediately surrenders to the will of the handler and man in general.

This kind of horse is likely to become a good and faithful horse but requires to be well treated or he will grow discouraged.

Most people DON'T know this kind of horse will suffer through repeated punishment without a sign of resistance. But he is confused and stupefied by it.

In a way, it would like the human asking themselves, "Why me? Why is this happening to me? What did I do?"

Going against the prescribed treatment of this horse will yield a problem horse.

The timely phrase "You can catch more bears with honey than vinegar" applies here.

Treating this horse kindly and lots of caressing and reassuring will help this horse be a great horse.

I've seen so called "bad horses" bought by other people who turned them into a great horse...mostly because of kindness.
